    Those watches are neat now. I didn’t like when they were gimmicky step counters, but having cardiac feedback and a life alert button is good peace of mind since I usually ride alone. I don’t have any special pants yet beyond wearing a fleece layer below 0C. Those would be nice for hip and knee impacts. The big leg injury you risk though is the bike tipping over onto you, called Lime Leg in the UK. I don’t know if there are padded pants that reinforce your femur and lower leg bones.

      Cool thanks again for putting this info out on here and also explaining the wherefore behind it. Like you said in your other reply, any bone that doesn’t get broken is worth it.
